Imagine,being paid to play clubs and getting invited into a personal custome session,with every club in there and every option.The pros regularly play different brands for drivers,wedges and putters,choosing from everything out there must be like a kid going into a candy store and saying he can have what he wants for free.

Yet we have to pay the earth and still do it.Why?

Pro's are ho's. I was just watching "playing lesson's from the pro's". Mark O'Meara had racks and racks of clubs in his basement. I'm talking half the inventory of the shop I go to. Wonder if he has ADT?

It's more of a hobby for me. I had a blast hitting 2fast's clubs and letting him hit mine yesterday. Besides, what else do have to spend money on? Nothing gives me quite as much enjoyment as getting a new club in the mail.

Pros are pros, we're consumers. Personally, I love the art and science of golf equiptment. It's toys for big kids.

Plus they get free stuff all the time, they can go into any tour van and get whatever they want. If I turned pro I would be taking orders on here and giving away nice christmas presents.

I can only imagine the crap I would have if I was a pro. I would need a freaking warehouse. Maybe 2, one just for putters.

I read a story about Sergio Garcia once trying 11 different shafts during a Pro Am.

Pros are bigger Ho's that we all are. Ever seen pics of a tournament green? Every putter company has every putter under their umbrella in every length and model. They flaunt that shit every weekend.

Hitting new golf clubs is fun. Its fun to be a ho. Who cares if you shoot 1 more because of this new club, so long as it gives you 1 or 2 more shots that go perfect.

But pros need to make a paycheck... so they go with what they trust. 1 shot could mean thousands.

Alot of pros end up with garages full of stuff, because they try something on the range for a few weeks, but never get to like it enough to put in their bags.

Ever seen Arnold Palmer's 'workshop'?

Crimminey! He even has all his old shoes in there. Must have thousands of clubs too.
